Recon Oil Change

I asked my dealer to service the internal oil screen but he discouraged me from doing it because he didn't feel it was necessary and didn't have the gasket needed to do the job at the time. The old 200 Honda's also had a screen and I don't think that cleaning the screen is something that anyone does. Did look at the Dealer Service Manual for the procedure and it involves pulling the front cover off the engine to access the screen. Sounds like there is also a centrifical device in there also. On my Recon, I just changed the oil on a regular basis.

If you go to the microfiche parts finder for the Recon, Crankcase, at the website for troy-racing.com you can see where the oil screen is located. The parts diagram shows both an oil screen and an oil strainer. Maybe this is one of those things that we should have went by the service recommendations in the Owners Manual.
